50.93 is what percent of 1487.63 - step by step solution

To get the solution, we are looking for, we need to point out what we know.

1. We assume, that the number 1487.63 is 100% - because it's the output value of the task.
2. We assume, that x is the value we are looking for.
3. If 100% equals 1487.63, so we can write it down as 100%=1487.63.
4. We know, that x% equals 50.93 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=50.93.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1487.63
2) x%=50.93
where left sides of both of them have the same units, and both right sides have the same units, so we can do something like that:
100%/x%=1487.63/50.93
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 50.93 is what percent of 1487.63

100%/x%=1487.63/50.93
(100/x)*x=(1487.63/50.93)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=29.209306891812*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (29.209306891812) to get x
100/29.209306891812=x
3.4235663437817=x
x=3.4235663437817

now we have:
